Your prettiness is seeping throughOut from the dress I took from you, so prettyAnd my emptiness is swollen shut alwaysAlways a wretch i have become So empty

I'm watching Naomi, full bloomI'm hoping she will soon explodeInto one billion tastes and tunes One billion angels come and hold her down They hold her down until she cries

I'm tasting Naomi's perfumeIt tastes like shit and I must sayShe comes and goes most afternoonsOne billion lovers wave and love her now They could love her now and so could I

There is no Naomi in view She walks through Cambridge stocks and strollsAnd if she only really knew One billion angels could come and save her soul They could save her soul until she shines

So pretty<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

goodness, how this builds upon itself.

i'm fully aware (at least mostly) of how much i've raved about this band on these here forums, and despite that, i refuse to quit. that's how good these fellows were.

in concerts, they would ---in the middle of a song--- toss instruments to back and forth to one another.certain (unmentioned) band members would sing to one another in their home through the walls.........IN THEIR SLEEP. that's the report from the wife of one band member. in my book, i chaulk that up to pure ridiculous magic.

no doubt why i'm pree's baby, no doubt whatsoever....goodness, what a glorious song.

[edit]: hrrmmm...and a 'certain someone' on these forums is the king of carrot flowers, did you ever wonder what in the hell that was all about?

....perhaps our king can enlighten us?

'The King Of Carrot Flowers Pt. 1' is just two minutes long, but it can make me cry.

It's the sort of band where every song sounds like an epic, but not in the way that you are probably imagining now. Just that every note really puts you through it, and even the songs which could feasibly be pop singles are guaranteed to test you at some point.

Like chicken says, just go listen.

Although highlights are near impossible to highlight, you cannot go wrong with 'Song Against Sex', 'You've Passed', 'Naomi' or 'Holland, 1945'.

I've been downloading some NMH <!--emo&:ph34r:--><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:ph34r:--><!--endemo--> I know, I know, but eh, it's entirely convenient, instant, and there are loads of sources on limwire. The snippets on iTunes is not the best way to judge songs and the quality just sucks. I want to see why you and elko (among others) are making such a fuss over these guys. <!--emo&:P--><!--endemo--> I'm a little picky on taste, but generally I'm an easy sell. <!--emo&:lol:--><!--endemo-->

It's also worth stating that NMH seem to be one of those bands so original (and bloody good) that they influence everyone whose heard of them. The folk-ish stuff that seems to be the new indie is totally NMH influenced, though nothings quite got there yet.

The Microphones are worth checking out though if you crave more music of that style.

double-post, i know. but NMH is worth far more than that...elko, (and any other who might have sampled this genius thus far..)what about:"you've passed" into "someone is waiting" into "a baby for pree"?

how you've passed transforms into someone is waiting, and how that transition is nothing short of glorious, absolutely glorious vocals....gad. it's horrendous tragic joy, yes?

and then, if one has the emotional fortitude, it goes into "where you'll find me now" which is a variation of a baby for pree, but thick jello guitar and such strong vocals....with jeff mangum's signature extra-human lungs....gad...

it's an emo-opera!!!

(and don't mention "gardenhead/leave me alone" as it is nearly my personal anthem <!--emo&:ph34r:--><!--endemo--> i'll be a certifiable lunatic if i post on that song )
